World map of bees
20 Nov 2020 | Assistant Professor John Ascher worked with researchers from the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the University of Georgia to plug the gap by making a world map of bee species. They first looked at a list of more than 20,000 known bee species that was earlier compiled by Asst Prof Ascher and made available on the biodiversity portal DiscoverLife.org. They then matched it with almost six million public records of where different species had been found. | LINK to NUS Research News
